How to be a Better Boy Mom

August 11, 2020 · In: Motherhood

One of the best things about raising boys is they are super fun! My boys are very chill and keep me on the go. They are 8 years apart so I have to be intentional about being sure to focus on their individual needs. These are a few things I have learned about raising boys and the things I do to be a better boy mom.

Learn to speak their language

One of the things I have learned raising my boys is that they communicate differently. While I love going in depth with how I feel and my opinions, my sons are much more reserved about theirs. Even when I ask they are concise. Especially the teenager.

I have learned to listen to my boys in a different way though. I’m watching for those moments that they light up with joy about things or prolong certain conversations. That shows me they are interested, open and willing to talk about those topics. Those are the times I listen closest. I have found that in those times I get actual communication. And I get the answers to the things I want, just in a way that works best for them.

Spend quality time with them

I love hanging out with my boys. I feel like the coolest mom on the block when my teenager wants to spend time with me. Me and my boys love to play sports, watch sports and do fun activities together. We’ve gone horseback riding, zip lining, go carting and so much more.

We spend our time together doing things they want to do. I don’t force my ideas on to them. I just want to spend time with them in their happiest moments, not drag them to my ideas of fun.

Learn more about their interest

The goal is the let them know that what they care about is important. And that I want to be a part of what’s interesting and cool to them. Thankfully I love sports so we share that. Then me and my little one could watch Animal Planet and National Geographic together all day. Ultimately I want to learn more about them and the things they care about.

As parents we sometimes plan out kids lives and have this ideas of who we want them to be. I’ve found it more beneficial to introduce things and allow them to lead. If they don’t like it, I don’t push it. I’m always introducing them to new them and like for them to try stuff but if it’s not their thing then we move on.

Snacks, they love snacks

If your boys are anything like mine they like food, especially snacks! My sons have their list ready before I even make the grocery list. My teenager usually has long days with school and practices so he likes to have snacks throughout the day. My favorite thing to do is to pack their favorite snacks in their backpacks for them to find during lunch or after school.

My teenager loves beef jerky and I was recently sent some of the new Chomps beef sticks. He loved them! Now I make sure that I add them to my grocery list so that he can have them on hand. The little one is really into pretzel sticks at the moment so I have to have those too.

This little touch though is just another little way for me to show them I’m listening, I love them and I want to be the best mom I can be for them.

Being a boy mom is the best! Boys often require a different way of communicating but ultimately they are so loving and fun. Being a better boy mom will totally depend on the child but takes listening to your boy and what is best for him.

The way I’m set up I can only give my energy to The way I’m set up I can only give my energy to a few things at a time. At the top of the year I was coming in hot and then boom….Omarion. 

In the midst of feeling crappy I had all kinds of brand deals due, a launch to execute, and babies to take care of. It was A LOT! 

When life be LIFEing it’s hard for me to focus on anything outside of my household. I’m fully present in real life so the virtual world gets put on pause. And I know that’s not the best idea when your building a business but…sanity!

Oh and passive marketing 😉

I finally have my energy back, and I’ve been posting on the Youtube channel and chatting with my email peeps…. I missed y’all.

Here’s to me getting it together and finding my way back. 

Happy Monday y’all!!

4 years ago I left my job with nothing! A month e 4 years ago I left my job with nothing!

A month earlier I realized I wasn’t happy. I was tired and frustrated with myself for living beneath my potential. Nothing was necessarily “wrong” I just knew there had to be more. I prayed and asked God to lead me into what was next.

Two weeks later I witnessed my coworker jack up my 3 year old and put her on the wall because she ran out of line and onto the playground too soon…..

Two days later my boss told me the state came in and saw she had me working in a position I wasn’t certified to be doing (nor getting the pay for 😒) and I needed to get it asap!

The morning of the test I woke up and realized I slept through my alarm, her multiple texts and the test! 🥴 I took that as my sign to move on. So I did!

At the time all I had was hope and a dream. I figured I could side hustle my way to what I was making then. All I knew was that my babies needed all of me, not some unhappy fraction of who I could really be for them. 

Even though I had no clue what I was doing or how I was going to make it work, I did it anyway! 

After getting up and calling my boss back to tell her I was gonna move on, I picked up my camera to document the moment.

A few days ago someone commented on that very video, I needed that in the moment. I realized I’ve come so far, did what I intended to do and am working toward the life that girl wanted! She’d be proud.

Thank you all for your continued support! I hope you know your journey to success may look a lil different in the beginning but trust yourself, something great is waiting on the other side of your decision!

It’s the first Monday of the month and all I’m It’s the first Monday of the month and all I’m thinking about is “How can I be better than I was last year!”

I’m done with doubting myself because I can do anything with God on my team.

I’m done with imposter syndrome because “I did that” the receipts are in!

This year I’m getting back fine 😜 aggressively delegating, staying consistent, living more, complaining less and gratefully celebrating every single moment.

That’s it. Those are the plans.

I hope you find the courage to do the same!
